Remove EXIF data...

I'm going to be performing an image comparison over the internet, and was
wondering if there was a utlilty that allowed me to say select lots of image
files and remove all EXIF tag information from the file easily? (This is for
people to try and tell the difference between various un-modified images
from different digital cameras)

Taking them through an old version of Photoshop, say, 5LE, at least damages if
not removes completely the EXIF info fields.

It's small and freeware. I don't know what its maximum file limit is, but
you can drag and drop files into the windows version of the program
(JPGCLN95.EXE). For what it's worth, the files passed my recently-updated
McAfee virus scan.

Try an older version of any photo editor and resave the file.
Paintshop Pro 7 or earlier will do that.

Use the program IrfanView ( http://www.irfanview.com/ ) its freeware
and has the option of removing or not saving the EXIF tag, not to mention
a few other things.

Removing of EXIF is a good thought if you're uploading photos to the Web, and do not want to reveal your private information (date&time, camera/lens, GPS coordinates, etc). I personally use EXIFCleaner by Superutils.com - it enables me to handle thousands of photos just in a snap. It treats not only EXIF, but also various types of photographic metadata: Adobe XMP, IPTC, etc.
